Enjoyable stay but breakfast could be better.

We enjoyed our stay at The Kings Arms Lancaster; overall, it was an average experience. The accommodation met our expectations and provided a comfortable visit. However, the breakfast did not meet the same standard, and I would recommend that management consider improvements in this area to enhance the overall guest experience.
